He said the proposal took into account the ongoing threats of kidnappings for ransom, smuggling of arms and human trafficking by cross-border criminals from neighbouring countries. “Therefore, I propose that ESSCom be maintained as long as the threats from criminals in these neighbouring countries are not fully neutralised,” he said here today.
He said in order to improve enforcement, it was proposed that agencies related to ESSCom’s operations be integrated into its job structure to strengthen its role in eradicating crime in Sabah’s east coast.
